I'm an Assistant Professor in the School of Public Policy at Georgia Tech. I study innovation problems in energy, transportation and urban sustainability. My research has been published in leading journals such as Nature Energy, Nature Sustainability and PNAS, as featured in NBC News, CBS radio, NPR, PBS/WABE, Scientific American, the Economic Times and the Washington Post. I conduct field experiments and use big data analytics and machine learning approaches to evaluate the effects of policy interventions at regional and global scales. My latest projects focus on incentives and behavior change in electric vehicle mobility and resource conservation in cities. Recent funding awards include grants from the National Science Foundation, Microsoft, ESRI, and the U.S. State Department Diplomacy lab ($6.5 million in awards, including $1 million as PI). In 2020, I received a National Science Foundation CAREER award for my project titled: "Behavioral Analytics and Field Experiments in Sustainable Innovation Policies" for 2020-2025.

I'm also a member of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) New Voices 2021 cohort.
At Georgia Tech, I direct the Data Science & Policy Lab. I am a faculty affiliate at the Institute for Data Engineering and Science (IDEaS), the Machine Learning Center, the Strategic Energy Institute, and the Climate and Energy Policy Laboratory. I have also served as faculty advisor in the Civic Data Science REU program and faculty PI in the GA Smart Cities, Albany Housing Data Analytics and Visualization Initiative. I'm also collaborating on an NSF Smart and Connected Communities (S&CC) grant and an NSF EFRI grant in sustainable plastics policy.
